The US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) continues its assault on the western states with a desire to rule all from Washington D.C. The federal government lays claim to over 50% of the land in eleven western states, and is continually seeking to expropriate more territory, in spite of a clear restriction found in the Constitution indicating that the federal government is prohibited from owning such tracts in the various states in the first place.
Environmentalists can also be counted on to demand that ranchers, farmers, and citizens be rounded up and forced into tiny, cubicle like structures in cities in order to “preserve the land and to save mother earth,” and so they act as a proxy and supporter to the illegal activities of the federal government. The government is so determined to steal the land that they have jailed a number of ranchers who had the audacity to question the federal government. Citing Constitutional limits got several ranchers jailed, with decades of potential jail time being threatened, and a 70 year old rancher is now stuck in solitary confinement due to his “dangerous and threatening” nature.
The crux of the matter is that 70 year old rancher Cliven Bundy has been grazing his cows in a barren and remote section of the Nevada desert, and the federal government is demanding over $1 million for his use of the land. Bundy claims that the land is Nevada state property, and he is willing to pay the state for the use, but not the federal government for the unlawful taking.
Now that Bundy is in jail, the federal government is once again threatening to “cow-nap” his herd, and the obnoxious environmental groups are encouraging the unlawful federal action.

But, since most Americans won’t do their own research, here, in no particular order, is an overview of many of Trumps positions and plans:What is his plan? It’s right here! What’s confusing about this!1.) Trump believes that America should not intervene militarily in other country’s problems without being compensated for doing so. If America is going to risk the lives of our soldiers and incur the expense of going to war, then the nations we help must be willing to pay for our help. Using the Iraq War as an example, he cites the huge monetary expense to American taxpayers (over $1.5 trillion, and possibly much more depending on what sources are used to determine the cost) in addition to the cost in human life. He suggests that Iraq should have been required to give us enough of their oil to pay for the expenses we incurred. He includes in those expenses the medical costs for our military and $5 million for each family that lost a loved one in the war and $2 million for each family of soldiers who received severe injuries.2.) Speaking of the military, Trump wants America to have a strong military again. He believes the single most important function of the federal government is national defense. He has said he wants to find a General Patton or General MacArthur who could lead our military buildup back to the strength it needs to be. While he hasn’t said it directly that I know of, Trump’s attitude about America and about winning tells me he’d most likely be quick to eliminate rules of engagement that handicap our military in battle. Clearly Trump is a “win at all costs” kind of guy, and I’m sure that would apply to our national defense and security, too. After all, we can’t afford to lose.3.) Trump wants a strong foreign policy and believes that it must include 7 core principles (which seem to support my comment in the last point):A. American interests come first, always with no apologies. B. America must have maximum firepower and military preparedness.C. Only should go to war to win.D. Stay loyal to your friends and suspicious of your enemies.E. Keep the technological sword razor sharp.F. See the unseen. Prepare for threats before they materialize.G. Respect and support our present and past warriors.4.) Trump believes that terrorists who are captured should be treated as military combatants, not as criminals like the Obama administration treats them.5.) Trump makes the point that China’s manipulation of their currency has given them unfair advantage in our trade dealings with them. He says we must tax their imports to offset their currency manipulation, which will cause American companies to be competitive again, drive manufacturing back to America and create jobs here. Although he sees China as the biggest offender, he believes that America should protect itself from all foreign efforts to take our jobs and manufacturing. For example, Ford is building a plant in Mexico and Trump suggests that every part or vehicle Ford makes in Mexico be taxed 35% if they want to bring it into the U. S., which would cause companies like Ford to no longer be competitive using their Mexican operations and move manufacturing back to the U. S., once again creating jobs here.6.) Trump wants passage of NOPEC legislation (No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act – NOPEC – S.394), which would allow the government to sue OPEC for violating antitrust laws. According to Trump, that would break up the cartel. He also wants to unleash our energy companies to drill domestically (sound like Sarah Palin’s drill baby, drill?) thereby increasing domestic production creating jobs and driving domestic costs of oil and gas down while reducing dependence on foreign oil.7.) Trump believes a secure border is critical for both security and prosperity in America. He wants to build a wall to stop illegals from entering put controls on immigration. (And he says he’ll get Mexico to pay for the wall, which many have scoffed at, but given his business successes I wouldn’t put it past him.) He also wants to enforce our immigration laws and provide no path to citizenship for illegals.8.) Trump wants a radical change to the tax system to not only make it better for average Americans, but also to encourage businesses to stay here and foreign businesses to move here. The resulting influx of money to our nation would do wonders for our economy. He wants to make America the place to do business. He also wants to lower the death tax and the taxes on capital gains and dividends. This would put more than $1.6 trillion back into the economy and help rebuild the 1.5 million jobs we’ve lost to the current tax system. He also wants to charge companies who outsource jobs overseas a 20% tax, but for those willing to move jobs back to America they would not be taxed. And for citizens he has a tax plan that would allow Americans to keep more of what they earn and spark economic growth. He wants to change the personal income tax to:Up to $30,000 taxed at 1% (Everybody should pay some tax.)From $30,000 to $100,000 taxed at 5%From $100,000 to $1,000,000 taxed at 10%$1,000,000 and above taxed at 15%9.) Trump wants Obamacare repealed. He says it’s a “job-killing, health care-destroying monstrosity” that “can’t be reformed, salvaged, or fixed.” He believes in allowing real competition in the health insurance marketplace to allow competition to drive prices down. He also believes in tort reform to get rid of defensive medicine which will lower costs.10.) Trump wants spending reforms in Washington, acknowledging that America spends far more than it receives in revenue. He has said he believes that if we don’t stop increasing the national debt once it hits $24 trillion it will be impossible to save this country. Even though he says we need to cut spending, he does not want to harm those on Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. He believes that the citizens have faithfully paid in to the system to have these services available and that the American government has an obligation to fulfill its end of the bargain and provide those benefits. Therefore, he wants to build the economy up so that we have the revenue to pay those costs without cutting the benefits to the recipients. He disagrees with Democrats who think raising taxes is the answer and says that when you do that you stifle the economy. On the other hand, when you lower taxes and create an environment to help businesses they will grow, hire more workers, and those new workers will be paying taxes that become more tax revenue for the government.11.) Trump also wants reform of the welfare state saying that, “America needs a safety net, not a hammock.” He believes in a welfare-to-work program that would help reduce the welfare rolls and encourage people to get back to work. And he wants a crackdown on entitlement fraud.12.) Trump believes climate change is a hoax.13.) Trump opposes Common Core.14.) Trump is pro-life, although he allows for an exception due to rape,$#%&!@* or the life of the mother.15.) Trump is pro 2nd Amendment rights.16.) Trump’s view on same-sex marriage is that marriage is between a man and a woman, but he also believes that this is a states’ rights issue, not a federal issue.17.) Trump supports the death penalty.18.) Trump believes that there is a lack of common sense and innovative thinking in Washington (Hmmm… looks like he believes in old fashioned horse sense!). He says it’s about seeing the unseen and that’s the kind of thinking we need to turn this country around.
